Activity 2: Exploring Key Concepts



For each term,answer the following questions:


  1. 1. What does this term mean to you?


  1. 2. Should we use the Greek word,or is there an English word that means exactly the same thing?


  1. 3. Look at the discussion questions for each section.Are Aristotle’s three terms relevant to your own writing?


Activity3: ExploringtheConceptof “Persuasion”


  1. 1. What is the difference between “knowledge” and “belief”?



Think about a current event or situation and use it to address the following categories:



What I know
 HowI know it
What I believe
 WhyI believe it



  1. 2. Is “proving” different from “persuading”? Does proving lead to knowledge, while persuading leads to belief? How do we “prove” that something is true? Are there some notions that we believe strongly, even though we can’t prove them?



  1. 3. What is the difference between what is certain and what is probable? If, as in a courtroom, the jury decides that something has been proved “beyond a reasonable doubt,” does that mean that it is certainly true or merely highly probable? Are we persuaded only by what is certain or sometimes by what is probable, in that it is likely to be true, or that most people would agree that it is true?



  1. 4. In the dialogue mentioned above, Gorgias says that rhetoric is about the “just and unjust.” How would you distinguish a “just” action from an “unjust” action? (The word “just” here is related to the word “justice.”)
